| Title: | Chasing dreams and dollars: India and the H-1B visa - San Francisco Chronicle |
| Keywords: | H1B, visa |
| Description: | All are tapping into India’s growing population of young IT and engineering talent, whose members flock here by the thousands seeking work. Navigating a system in which their employer controls their visa, and thus their legal status, leaving some feeling like indentured servants with no power over working hours or conditions. [...] increasingly, being pointed to by critics of the H-1B program, including GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, as a threat to American workers. Since 1990, the H-1B visa program has allowed U.S. companies to hire foreign workers with special skills, including physicians, engineers, accountants, even fashion models. [...] increasingly, the program has been dominated by U.S. technology companies seeking software analysts, engineers and other IT workers. The number of visas available, however, has always been limited. Since 2004, the cap has been set at 85,000 new H-1Bs annually — 65,000 for foreign workers with at least a bachelor’s degree, another 20,000 reserved for those with advanced degrees from U.S. universities. Exempt from the cap are skilled workers employed in higher education, nonprofit research or government research. Since 2013, the huge demand for H-1Bs has prompted a computerized lottery to dole out the visas. Indian companies, including Tata Consulting Services, Wipro and Infosys, submit tens of thousands of visa requests on behalf of U.S. clients each year. Critics say they are effectively gaming the lottery — depriving smaller companies of the chance to fairly compete for H-1Bs and taking visas that could go to more highly skilled, higher-paid workers for low-level, lower-paid programmers. According to Department of Labor data, the top four Indian outsourcing companies successfully filed about 66,000 Labor Condition Applications in 2015, which is the first step toward obtaining an H-1B visa. While many Silicon Valley companies such as Apple and Intel tend to hire more highly skilled workers and pay six-figure salaries, the bulk of H-1B jobs go to lower-level IT workers who are often paid close to the minimum allowed by the visa program, about $60,000, says Ronil Hira, a Howard University public policy professor and researcher at the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank focused on labor issues. In 2013, according to research by the Brookings Institution, more than 27,200 H-1B visas were approved for workers in two Bay Area metro areas: almost 16,000 in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, and more than 11,000 in San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont. Hira, like others critical of the H-1B program, says most U.S. companies are not using the H-1B visa “as a way to alleviate a shortage of STEM-educated U.S. workers; they use it to primarily cut labor costs.” Others argue that the proliferation of outsourcing via H-1B, especially in the case of India, is leading to the export of skills acquired in the U.S., as guest workers’ visas run out and they move back to jobs overseas. U.S. companies also have been hit for allegedly replacing American workers with lower-paid foreigners. The U.S. Justice Department investigated Southern California Edison in 2015 after the utility company laid off 500 IT workers while having some of them train H-1B workers, but said it found no violations of labor laws or discrimination against American workers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initiated more than 200 fraud investigations into H-1B and related H and L visas, and made more than 110 criminal arrests from 2013 to 2015. Lawsuits and prosecutions also have occurred over guest workers reportedly being underpaid or forced to kick back some of their earnings to their sponsoring companies, which have control of their visas. Daniel Showalter, a group supervisor with Homeland Security investigations in the Los Angeles area, said in an interview that the way the H-1B program has developed, with the huge staffing firms flooding the system with applications, has “taken it away from the intent of the visa itself.” Showalter, who has investigated visa fraud for much of his 20-year career, says the system as it is now opens the door to fraud schemes and worker abuse. The most recent action: an increase in the cost of the visa application for major staffing companies like Tata and Infosys. Recent hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose immigration panel is chaired by Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions, have been sharply critical of the H-1B program, also focusing largely on the large Indian firms’ dominance and concerns about the replacement of U.S. workers. Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin, a strong immigration supporter, have teamed on a bill that would forbid the replacement of a domestic worker by an H-1B visa holder and prioritize visa allocations to foreigners holding advanced degrees. Nasscom, the primary trade association of India’s IT and software services industry, estimated that the visa fee increase could cost the sector hundreds of millions of dollars annually. [...] many visa applications have come from the city as the tech and outsourcing industries have expanded there that the U.S. opened a Hyderabad consulate in 2008, which has issued 130,000 H-1Bs since, said consul chief Jamie Fouss. While the large outsourcing firms grab the lion’s share of visas, it can often take workers for an Indian company or an India-based branch of a U.S. company up to five years of service before being considered as an H-1B candidate. At these companies, experts and Indian workers say, it is common for a worker to pay at least a portion of the H-1B application fee usually paid by the sponsoring company, or to agree to relinquish a portion of the salary earned in the U.S. More typical of would-be H-1B workers is a 30-year-old Hyderabad management consultant, a graduate of a top Indian business school who works for the Indian arm of a large U.S. consulting firm. [...] I have gotten married. The setting sun casts a sepia glow over the rural landscape as Varakala scrambles beneath a thorny tree to pick lemons. The company, Agile Health Technologies of Naperville, Ill., had listed an “in-house project” on its H-1B application as its reason for hiring him and promised a $70,000 salary. Agile, established in 2013, reports having just two employees, including Gandhamaneni, but, according to visa records, has sponsored nearly 60 foreign workers. When he returned in December, Customs and Border Patrol officers at Los Angeles International Airport questioned why he was not working at Agile in the job for which his H-1B had been granted. While Varakala looks for another job, he spends most of his time on his family’s 5-acre farm in a Hyderabad suburb, a place his father managed to buy after a career as a laborer and welding instructor. [...] his H-1B experience, Varakala’s life reflected the dream many Indians share: getting an education that can pull them out of a struggling rural life, getting a job in a big city, maybe getting to America. Raja Ram Mohan, the young engineer who is awaiting his H-1B assignment, is thrilled about finally seeing the American tourist sites he has seen in movies. C.S. Rangarajan, the Balaji’s head priest, knows that as long as the opportunity is out there, young Indians like Mohan, hoping for an adventure, for a chance at a better life, will continue to come and pray, understanding that luck is crucial to their hopes and seeking help from the divine.

| Title: | Chasing dreams and dollars: India and the H-1B visa - San Francisco Chronicle |
| Keywords: | |
| Description: | All are tapping into India’s growing population of young IT and engineering talent, whose members flock here by the thousands seeking work. Navigating a system in which their employer controls their visa, and thus their legal status, leaving some feeling like indentured servants with no power over working hours or conditions. [...] increasingly, being pointed to by critics of the H-1B program, including GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, as a threat to American workers. Since 1990, the H-1B visa program has allowed U.S. companies to hire foreign workers with special skills, including physicians, engineers, accountants, even fashion models. [...] increasingly, the program has been dominated by U.S. technology companies seeking software analysts, engineers and other IT workers. The number of visas available, however, has always been limited. Since 2004, the cap has been set at 85,000 new H-1Bs annually — 65,000 for foreign workers with at least a bachelor’s degree, another 20,000 reserved for those with advanced degrees from U.S. universities. Exempt from the cap are skilled workers employed in higher education, nonprofit research or government research. Since 2013, the huge demand for H-1Bs has prompted a computerized lottery to dole out the visas. Indian companies, including Tata Consulting Services, Wipro and Infosys, submit tens of thousands of visa requests on behalf of U.S. clients each year. Critics say they are effectively gaming the lottery — depriving smaller companies of the chance to fairly compete for H-1Bs and taking visas that could go to more highly skilled, higher-paid workers for low-level, lower-paid programmers. According to Department of Labor data, the top four Indian outsourcing companies successfully filed about 66,000 Labor Condition Applications in 2015, which is the first step toward obtaining an H-1B visa. While many Silicon Valley companies such as Apple and Intel tend to hire more highly skilled workers and pay six-figure salaries, the bulk of H-1B jobs go to lower-level IT workers who are often paid close to the minimum allowed by the visa program, about $60,000, says Ronil Hira, a Howard University public policy professor and researcher at the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank focused on labor issues. In 2013, according to research by the Brookings Institution, more than 27,200 H-1B visas were approved for workers in two Bay Area metro areas: almost 16,000 in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, and more than 11,000 in San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont. Hira, like others critical of the H-1B program, says most U.S. companies are not using the H-1B visa “as a way to alleviate a shortage of STEM-educated U.S. workers; they use it to primarily cut labor costs.” Others argue that the proliferation of outsourcing via H-1B, especially in the case of India, is leading to the export of skills acquired in the U.S., as guest workers’ visas run out and they move back to jobs overseas. U.S. companies also have been hit for allegedly replacing American workers with lower-paid foreigners. The U.S. Justice Department investigated Southern California Edison in 2015 after the utility company laid off 500 IT workers while having some of them train H-1B workers, but said it found no violations of labor laws or discrimination against American workers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initiated more than 200 fraud investigations into H-1B and related H and L visas, and made more than 110 criminal arrests from 2013 to 2015. Lawsuits and prosecutions also have occurred over guest workers reportedly being underpaid or forced to kick back some of their earnings to their sponsoring companies, which have control of their visas. Daniel Showalter, a group supervisor with Homeland Security investigations in the Los Angeles area, said in an interview that the way the H-1B program has developed, with the huge staffing firms flooding the system with applications, has “taken it away from the intent of the visa itself.” Showalter, who has investigated visa fraud for much of his 20-year career, says the system as it is now opens the door to fraud schemes and worker abuse. The most recent action: an increase in the cost of the visa application for major staffing companies like Tata and Infosys. Recent hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose immigration panel is chaired by Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions, have been sharply critical of the H-1B program, also focusing largely on the large Indian firms’ dominance and concerns about the replacement of U.S. workers. Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin, a strong immigration supporter, have teamed on a bill that would forbid the replacement of a domestic worker by an H-1B visa holder and prioritize visa allocations to foreigners holding advanced degrees. Nasscom, the primary trade association of India’s IT and software services industry, estimated that the visa fee increase could cost the sector hundreds of millions of dollars annually. [...] many visa applications have come from the city as the tech and outsourcing industries have expanded there that the U.S. opened a Hyderabad consulate in 2008, which has issued 130,000 H-1Bs since, said consul chief Jamie Fouss. While the large outsourcing firms grab the lion’s share of visas, it can often take workers for an Indian company or an India-based branch of a U.S. company up to five years of service before being considered as an H-1B candidate. At these companies, experts and Indian workers say, it is common for a worker to pay at least a portion of the H-1B application fee usually paid by the sponsoring company, or to agree to relinquish a portion of the salary earned in the U.S. More typical of would-be H-1B workers is a 30-year-old Hyderabad management consultant, a graduate of a top Indian business school who works for the Indian arm of a large U.S. consulting firm. [...] I have gotten married. The setting sun casts a sepia glow over the rural landscape as Varakala scrambles beneath a thorny tree to pick lemons. The company, Agile Health Technologies of Naperville, Ill., had listed an “in-house project” on its H-1B application as its reason for hiring him and promised a $70,000 salary. Agile, established in 2013, reports having just two employees, including Gandhamaneni, but, according to visa records, has sponsored nearly 60 foreign workers. When he returned in December, Customs and Border Patrol officers at Los Angeles International Airport questioned why he was not working at Agile in the job for which his H-1B had been granted. While Varakala looks for another job, he spends most of his time on his family’s 5-acre farm in a Hyderabad suburb, a place his father managed to buy after a career as a laborer and welding instructor. [...] his H-1B experience, Varakala’s life reflected the dream many Indians share: getting an education that can pull them out of a struggling rural life, getting a job in a big city, maybe getting to America. Raja Ram Mohan, the young engineer who is awaiting his H-1B assignment, is thrilled about finally seeing the American tourist sites he has seen in movies. C.S. Rangarajan, the Balaji’s head priest, knows that as long as the opportunity is out there, young Indians like Mohan, hoping for an adventure, for a chance at a better life, will continue to come and pray, understanding that luck is crucial to their hopes and seeking help from the divine.
